This is a very friendly running group. Every Monday and Wednesday evening at 6:30, the group meets up at Runners Grove. From there, the group splits up into smaller groups of runners depending on distance and pace. Distances vary between 3 and 6 miles. Paces vary between 6:30-11 minute miles. After the run on Wednesday night, a number of people meet up at "Another Round" for dinner and drinks.

This group is aimed to bring together Elgin and western suburbs runners for group runs, races and social gatherings. I am creating this group because all of the local running groups all seem to gather downtown Chicago, far away from Elgin. Runners of all experience levels and running types should join. I will organize group runs bi-weekly, more as demand increases.

I started this club because I was unable to find one near where I live. There are wonderful running clubs for Bolingbrook, St. Charles, Downers Grove, and many other surrounding cities, but none for the large city …

I challenged myself to do 12 5ks in 12 months. In the end it was the best challenge I have ever set for myself because it turned out to be an adventure than I had not anticipated on having. Anyways, I wanted to make the expereince more social. I know a lot of people sign up for races because of family or friends, but what happens when that person can't go and you don't have any body to do a particular race with you? I know, most people end up not doing the race in that situation! So, I figured c …

Don't allow this winter to slip by not having contributed anything positive to your health- get in shape while everyone else is indoors hibernating. My goal is to meet 2-3 times a week, beginning at the end of November, at Portage Park and complete the 9 week Couch Potato to 5k program. Once we've completed that program we can continue adding to our runs until we're able to complete 5 miles comfortably.

So you're bored, I mean like really bored and you decided to sign up for meet up. There are some crazy folks out there and meeting them in private at a local spot still seems disheartening.
